Experimentelle und theoretische Untersuchungen verschiedener Konfigurationen von tragenden Wiedereintrittskoerpern in hypersonischer Stroemung geringer Dichte (Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Various Configurations of Lifting Re-entry Bodies in Hypersonic Low Density Flow),

Abstract : Pressure distribution, force and heat transfer measurements on different lifting reentry vehicles (blunted half-elliptical cone, delta wing, circular cone) are reported from measurements in the hypersonic low density wind tunnel of the Aerodynamische Versuchsanstalt Gottingen. The experimental results are compared with calculations obtained by different methods.
